Arizona Western College head baseball coach John Stratton stated, “It was Sophomore Day, and we played them all, but we played a lot of the freshmen, too, and they all had good days. That’s promising. Sepulveda and Campbell both threw extremely well, so there’s always that light at the end of the tunnel. We’re not quitting, they’re playing hard, and I think it’s important to have fun now, and I think they’re having a little fun.”
